Setting up in Sydney

Ok, have arrived in Sydney, spent first day in similiar dazed state to when I first arrived in KL, except this time I was on my own! It’s still a bit rainy here, but I’m told summer is just around the corner…took a walk down to Sydney Harbour bridge today after doing all the boring working visa admin stuff, and the sun came out, it’s pretty stunning allright. Not sure what next steps are, but already can see that I don’t want to spend too much time in hostels and doing fruit picking!

Question is: WWTHD?

My answer: Reckon I’ll head out to Bondi beach to stay true to the Hoff way of life.

Over and out.

Bye bye Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur

It’s been a blast, but alas, it is time to go! Luckily I am going on to Sydney

I’m gonna have good memories of this place, everything from the gorgeous island of Redang to the madness of Chinatown, the random Oktoberfesting, the local ex pat squad, even the Gurkhas that guard Melrose place so efficiently.

Ciao!

Oktoberfest in Kuala Lumpur

Oktoberfest

Yes, I never would have imagined that my first Oktoberfest experience would have been in South East Asia, but what the heck!

There was German beer, sausages, authentic musical entertainment complete with Leiderhosen-sporting musicians, and even the chicken dance. Don’t ask. Just have a look at the pictures.

I live in Melrose place

Yep, forgot to mention that, it’s really quite uncanny when you see it.

Paradise Island

Da beach

Went to Puland Redang for a few days, which is on the east coast of Malaysia near Kuala Terengganu, to find some sunshine!

Awesome snorkelling and diving to be found there, pretty cheap too (less than 10 quid for a scuba dive!).

And the beach…well…
